Abstract

The article focuses on the theory of "synarchy" from World War II, which posits that the French elite conspired to welcome the German invasion. Topics include the historical skepticism of this theory, the extensive archival research conducted by historian Annie Lacroix-Riz, and the ongoing debate about the legitimacy of her claims versus the evidence of support for the Vichy regime.
